Abstract: We show that if $y=(y_n{)}_{nge1}$ is a bounded sequence with zero average along every infinite arithmetic progression then for every $Nge2$ there exist (unilateral or bilateral) subshifts $Sigma$ over $N$ symbols, with entropy arbitrarily close to $logN$, uncorrelated to $y$. In particular, for $y=mu$ being the M"obius function, we get that there exist subshifts as above which satisfy the assertion of Sarnak's conjecture. The existence of positive entropy systems uncorrelated to the M"obius function is claimed in Sarnak's survey cite{sarnak} (and attributed to Bourgain), however, to our knowledge no examples have ever been published. We fill in this gap and by the way we show that this has nothing to do with more advanced algebraic properties (for instance multiplicativity) of the considered sequence.
